Inflammation of the prostate gland or prostatitis ICD stands out on your list under several numbers. It all depends on the form of pathology and the nature of its origin.
What is ICD?
There is a regulatory document used in the medical community that is periodically reviewed by the World Health Organization. It includes a list of all diseases and pathologies that occur in humans. It's called the International Classification of Diseases (ICD). Its main objective is to help in the study of the patient's condition and create the optimal conditions for it by systematically recording the available data. The information is collected from around the world and is coded under certain names. At any time, it can be supplemented and retrieved for further study.
Important! The ICD table contains classes and groups marked with codes. A title can contain several forms and manifestations of the same ailment. The entrance is arranged in alphabetical order for convenience.

Prostatitis according to ICD-10
Prostatitis code according to ICD 10 - 41. If benign hyperplasia develops in the organ, the disease is designated by a different number. The ICD 10 code for prostate gland adenoma in adults is recorded as numbers 40 to 51. These titles include various fibroids and myomas.
It belongs to the most common urological diseases that affect men of any age. In general, the inflammatory process in the glandular tissues is most often observed chronically without visible acute signs at first.
Experts classify the ailment by the nature of the course:
- acute, which occurs in 50% of patients no older than 30-35 years. Mainly associated with bacterial infections;
- chronic. It does not manifest itself for a long time and can develop against the background of an infectious process.
Due to the occurrence, it happens:
- bacterial that occurs within the organ;
- non-bacterial, in which pathological changes occur predominantly chronically;
- viral, in which the entire genital area suffers.
By the nature of structural changes, they are distinguished:
- fibrous form. The growth of glandular tissues occurs fairly quickly and requires radical treatment. Clinically similar to ICD for prostate adenoma of which 40, 0;
- calculating. It occurs when stones form in the tissues of the glandular organ. It is considered a harbinger of cancer;
- stagnant form. Occurs with physical inactivity, prolonged abstinence from sexual intercourse.
Causes and symptoms
The pathology of the gland, both chronic and acute, is directly related to the conduct of an inappropriate lifestyle, addiction to smoking and alcohol, and poor physical activity.
The main reasons why the disease develops even in young men are:
- infections transmitted during sexual contact: gonococci, Escherichia coli, chlamydia, etc. Frequent change of sexual partners increases the risk of developing the disease;
- congestion in the pelvic organs associated with impaired blood circulation;
- sedentary lifestyle, sedentary lifestyle, physical inactivity;
- prolonged abstinence from sexual intercourse, abuse of drugs that prolong intercourse, deliberate delay of ejaculation during intimacy to prolong it;
- decreased immunity;
- psycho-emotional stress, severe stress;
- physical overwork;
- hypothermia;
- failure in the endocrine system;
- unbalanced diet;
- addictions.
The signs of the development of acute and chronic inflammation in the prostate are similar. The doctor will help to recognize the form of the disease after examination and diagnosis.
Peculiarities
The acute form is accompanied by severe clinical symptoms, and all tissues of the glandular organ are involved in the pathological process. Therefore, the disease is painful, difficult: with an increase in body temperature, signs of general intoxication.
The patient complains of:
- heaviness and pain in the groin, pelvic region, lower back;
- a feeling of tightness in the rectum;

ICD codes for acute and chronic prostatitis
Chronic prostatitis ICD code 41. 1 with any adverse factor may worsen. Acute inflammation of ICD 41. 0 leads to edema of the glandular tissues, which is fraught with acute urinary retention.
Such diseases, in the absence of proper treatment, lead to serious complications:
- bladder obstruction;
- the development of male infertility;
- narrowing and scarring of the urethral canal;
- recurrent cystitis;
- pyelonephritis and other ailments affecting the kidneys;
- suppuration of the gland tissues, which requires immediate medical intervention;
- sepsis, which develops more often in people with weakened immunity.
Pathology diagnosis
In some cases, a single digital rectal examination and familiarization with the patient's complaints are sufficient to make a diagnosis. However, inflammation is diagnosed primarily by instrumental and laboratory examination methods.
The patient is referred to:
- blood and urine tests to determine infection and inflammation;
- analysis of prostate secretions;
- ultrasound examination of the prostate, kidneys, bladder;
- urethrocytoscopy;
- MRI of the pelvic organs;
- PSA blood test;
- biopsy;
- bone scan.
One of the most effective diagnostic methods is a digital rectal exam of the prostate. Although in the acute form, the organ is very sensitive and the procedure can cause severe pain to the patient.
Treatment tactics
Chronic prostatitis, the ICD code of which is listed in the international disease registry, requires complex treatment. The patient is advised to correct the diet, change the lifestyle, give up harmful addictions and start eating right.
Also designated:
- Medicine. Helps relieve pain, relieves inflammation, activates the regeneration of damaged cells of the glandular organ. Suppositories are mainly used, as well as antibiotics.
- Prostate massage. It is considered the most effective method of getting rid of stagnant processes in the gland. It is carried out independently or with the help of a specialist. The procedure is considered unpleasant, but it must be done without fail.
- Balneotherapy. With the help of mineral waters in sanatoriums, men manage to cope with the chronic form. It is useful to drink healing water and bathe in it.
- Physiotherapy. Thermal physiotherapy gives excellent results. It helps to quickly assimilate medications, relieve general symptoms, and increase blood circulation in the problem organ.
- Diet is an important step in therapy. The convalescent's diet should contain vitamins, fiber, amino acids, and mineral compounds. You will have to abstain from junk food (pickles, marinades, smoked meats, fried, fatty foods). The list of desirable products includes sour milk drinks, lean meats and fish, nuts, dried fruits, pumpkin seeds.
Surgery is rarely used for chronic inflammation, when other treatment methods do not give a positive effect or purulent processes have begun.
Acute requires the use of medications, the use of microclysters, rectal suppositories, pain relievers, pain relievers. The patient is shown bed rest and refusal of intimacy. As soon as the acute period passes, prostate massage and physiotherapy are prescribed. It is very important for this type of disease to select the necessary medications. This is only possible after a correct diagnosis. What kind of funds will be prescribed and in what dosage, says the specialist.
Prophylaxis
In order not to develop and worsen prostatitis, the ICD 10 code in adults is listed in number 41, you must adhere to the following rules:

- it is necessary to visit a urologist at least once a year to exclude the probability of the onset of the disease.

- "The international classification has no small importance in the treatment of inflammation of the prostate of any etiology, since the ICD 10 code allows to determine with precision the type of disease, to formulate a diagnosis and to carry out effective therapeutic measures".
- "My father had a prostate adenoma. The ICD code was deciphered by the doctor when it was determined with the diagnosis. The stage is quite neglected, the gland has almost tripled. An operation was scheduled and it was successful. Recovery was delayed, since age (over 60 years) and other chronic diseases took their toll. Now he has no complaints about the genitourinary system. "
- "Chr. ICD 41. 1 prostatitis is on my card. I have had this disease for a long time, but it rarely gets worse, as I do everything possible to avoid acute symptoms. The doctor said the diseases chronic ones don't go away, they may not appear for a long time, if you properly monitor your health. So I play sports: I run in the morning every day, I exercise, I don't drink alcohol, I don't smoke. "
